Fiamma awnings actually ship with body mounts (ive had Fiamma's in the past on different vans/rigs). im not sure what FWC does with all these body mounts, must have a huge stock pile somewhere, or they cut a deal and dont actually receive them. i cant stand having the feet go to the ground, dogs get playing and run into them, have to be staked down in even a slight breeze etc.
So i fabbed up my own mounting points off the jack brackets and had some spare body mounts laying around. Fiamma changed the design recently on these and i preferred the old style, so i bought a couple sets while i still could. the new ones are enclosed and can fill with dirt and debris, more of an issue if mounted low on the body like they are designed, like on a van. both will work though.
Anyway, i just made a simple bracket from aluminum angle, had to decrease the angle on the forward one to match up with the leg better, but simple bracket nontheless. works well, never worry about it in a small breezes etc. here are some pics.
Thanks. That is awesome. Wish I had the body mounts to do this. I love my awning, but I also tie my dogs to my running boards with 12 foot leads, and it never fails, they find the awning legs with their leashes[emoji35]
Thank you for taking the time to show me, I may be able to fab something to work for my use.
